There seems to be a lot of questions and mis-information around Jackson's Japanese leg of 1977 'The Pretender Tour'.
Piecing it all together it appears Jackson played Japan six times during the tour and the dating below I believe is the most accurate.
03/16/77 Nakano Sun Plaza, Tokyo, Japan
03/18/77 Nakano Sun Plaza, Tokyo, Japan
03/20/77 Shinjyuku Koseinenkin Hall, Tokyo, Japan
03/23/77 Kanagawa Preformance Hall, Yokohama, Japan
03/24/77 Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan
04/09/77 Kokusai Boeki Center, Tokyo, Japan "Rolling Coconut Revue"
Most of these dates do not appear to be in general circulation and they are not the best of quality.
Offered here is the second night in Tokyo, pitch adjusted and mastered. Quality is listenable but I'd consider it average at best. However, I wanted to get it out since this leg of the tour seems to be vastly under represented. This is the best quality of the Japanese shows I possess. I've done a ton of work mastering it to get it to what I'd consider a presentable package.
The show is an interesting listen, before "For A Dancer" he asks that the "cat calls must end" and about two minutes into "For A Dancer" he stops the song and spends about two minutes scolding an American audience member for being drunk, singing at the top of his lungs and disrupting the show, commenting if "you were in my audience at home they would have kicked your ass ten minutes ago".
"******* Friend" during this portion of the tour generally appeared as part of an encore medley between "Do You Wanna Dance" and "Sweet Little Sixteen", for this show "******* Friend" is a stand alone here to open the encores.
